This is my sixth tattoo and it is a collaboration of The eye of Horus and a window pane in a Buddhist temple I go to for my grandparents that are no longer here with me. I got the eye of the Horus as a focus of the tattoo because it resembles health, wisdom, protection, and represents the dead. I have always wanted something in memory of my relatives that are no longer with me and this is also for my father as well. I had a very rough relationship with my father growing up. He left my family and I many years ago and has never come back. I found out last week that he had a heart attack and it made me realize how close I was to completely losing my father. I already lost him mentally but now physically is the last thing I want despite everything. This is for him as well because I do not really know how else to express to him that I care and am truly effected by this tragedy that has made him weak, I hope for good health and protection for him with this eye of Horus. & Since he and my relatives cant be with me, I know they are right here with me through this tattoo.

I got this Koi Fish at Trademark Tattoo in Albany, Georgia. This Koi Fish holds a lot of meaning to me. I got it for my Mom and my Stepdad because a Koi Fish symbolizes perseverance in adversity, strength of purpose, courage, and the ability to attain high goals.My parents encouragement and help through life have helped me attain my goals and persevere throughout my life.

I decided to get this tattoo done after being awed and inspired by the work of NYC based Photographer, Sean Vegezzi. The piece comes from the cover of his first photo book, I Don’t Warna Grow Up. Sean documented his urban explorations through the city as a teen-wandering through abandoned subway tunnels, constructions sites, alleyways, rooftops and other spaces of abject industrial insignificance. Vegezzi’s photographs both document this experience and immortalize the adventurous spirit of adolescence. I Don’t Warna Grow Up could be a mantra for his subjects who are mostly wandering boys on a search for the sake of searching. The piece was by Chico at Skin Konviction (Flushing, NY).
